I like those. I'll have to add them to the list. I do like the tone, it's very similar to the old exhaust. It does seem a little quieter now, but you're right, when you open it up if get as load as the borla. I was actually going to order just the axel back but someone wanted to buy my borla as a kit so it made sense to order and switch out everything. I like the build of the Ford X pipe a little more. Seem a little better built.

Also if you feel like spending more money, there's also the underbody shield that goes with the valance. It's a bit expensive (as are the mud flaps), but may be worth having:

Thank for the link. I like that close out pannel too. I thought about ordering that at the same time I ordered the valance but I didn't maybe next month.

Maybe slightly smoother. Not enough to totally recommend this upgrade if you don't need it. I'd say wait until the normal fluid change timing and do it then. It was a super easy swap, aside from making a slight mess in refilling the system. From reading pervious generation reviews colder weather guys might see a bigger difference.
With the Steeda Shifter and the Trans bushing things were already pretty dialed so I wasn't expecting a ton. I think a nice weighted shift knob will totally complete the package.
I did the BG fluid swap about a month ago. Found it much cheaper on ebay. Along with mgw race spec and Trans bushing insert I was still experiencing notchy shifts, especially when cold. Fluid made shifting feel much smoother and quicker. But I still have some nontchyness in the 3-4 shift. I too am hoping a weighted ball will complete the package. I'm also thinking aluminum driveshaft shaft as possibly my next mod.

Thanks to Jay at Hypermotive for the help!!!
So, I took the plunge and picked up an Airlift Digital V2 Kit. I got a great deal on it that I really couldn’t pass up. Let me first start out by saying I did a ton of research on this kit and it really seemed like the best option for my longer term goals.
The Steeda Fascia, although not super aggressive started presenting me problems with ground clearance on steep driveways. I also wanted something that would still be a performance orientated set up and allow me to still look dope at the meet ups. Air seemed to be the best solution in addressing all these qualifications.

Here are some great videos that I used during the install of my kit




The install starts with removing the lower rear seat and folding down the upper seat back.

From there, I began prepping the tank for the install on the rear trunk shelf. I had hoped to mount all of this stuff in the rear tire spare area, but sadly the tank was too large to fit in there. The tank mounting holes are to wide for the rear shelf so an additional hole was drilled out.



Here is a look at how I installed my fittings. the top fitting gets plugged, the middle fitting on the side will go to the water catch can, and the second fitting is the secondary fill/drain line.



Here’s the other side of the tank. The middle hole gets plugged and the other open hole will be the compressor fill.



Here is a look at the mounting holes that were drilled in the rear shelf. There are two more that match on the passenger side.

There is the prepped tank and mounting hardware ready to install.



The tank fully installed and the water catch can mounted.



Time to mount the compressor. I had hoped to follow the steps CJ pony parts had used, and put the compressor in the spare tire area, unfortunately the kit does not include the needed supplies to do this, so I followed LMR’s lead and mounted on the rear shelf. You can see the four holes that had to be drilled. I did have to remove the rear fender liner to fasten the hardware, and to also make sure I didn’t drill into the fuel filler neck.

To keep cabin noise down, I did dynamat that area.



Here is the compressor mounted and ready to be wired up.



Next, I moved on to installing the distribution block and ran the harness. I tried to keep everything as hidden as possible. You can also see the compressor line coming though a hole I made in the trunk liner carpet.



I then moved on to the front install. Here I followed CJ Pony parts install and ran the airlines through the cabin under the trim and through the front wire grommet on the firewall. The line then runs behind the fender liner.



Here is a close up look at the strut and a comparison with the stock strut and the prokit spring.

The kit also includes new front sway bar end links.



Here’s a look at the front strut in place.

Now on to the back.

And the rear installed. Sorry not really any great angles for photos here.



After that it’s really about buttoning everything back up. I still have a few things to clean up. I need to run that secondary fill line up and behind the trunk liner. I also need to come up with a good location for the controller.

Sorry I didn’t take and pictures of the wiring. I followed LMR’s lead with the electrical. They outline everything pretty well.
Here is a direct link to that portion of the video.




Overall, the kit is very well made and the install was pretty straight forward. I would say if you have done a spring swap you’d have no problem with this. That being said, it did take me about 14 hours total to install start to finish. It was hella hot and I took tons of breaks so that didn’t help the time. So far I very impressed with the kit. I actually set my ride height at the same as I was with my prokit setup. But I also set a secondary preset for around the stock height to deal with those speed bumps and steep driveways. But best of all is the completely dumped setting.

Damn Nathan! Had no idea you went with bags. Been too busy to keep up with the chat lately :(.

Great job on the install. Car looks sooooo good. Very impressed :)
